Man that thing looks clean! I love that tu-tone color on that body style

You'd get a big price up here for such a clean truck!

It had a cross bed tool box on it and cracked where the rear of the box sat.
Since I have learned to do pictures I will get pictures, maybe today.

Even with the crack, I'm sure that body and bed is a lot cleaner than mine.

After all the things I've done to my truck, my Dad would probably consider switching to a ford. If there were any like that in my area, I could probably have built him one already. His would have been 4wd from day one though.

Knowing what I know now, I would probably consider a drive down to cali and come back with a cherry like that if I ever decided to get another one.

Now here is another of my projects. The brown body above is going on this pickup, everything on this pickup works and drives like it is supposed to except for one rust spot.
What I havn't made my mind up on is weather to swap the bed or leave the flatbed. The white boxes are just setting on it to see if I liked them it has a sunken gooseneck hitch with a door over it and when I built it I also built a pretty handy 5th wheel hitch.
Now the brown bed is rhino lined and has a 5th wheel hitch and would look good.
which way would you go.

Those bends laying on the bed are some I took off a 318 3" for a future exhaust project.
If I use the flatbed I will go with stacks as the bed is 4" wider on each side than the cab.
